Bloomsbury presents The New Girl by Emily Perkins, read by Takunda Muzondiwa

In a small town in New Zealand, lifelong friends, Rachel, Julia and Chicky, are celebrating the end of school, enjoying the liminal space of the summer holidays before their lives will be transformed by university, careers and adulthood.

The arrival of Miranda, an exotically beautiful and charismatic woman, will have a profound effect on the ostensibly concrete bond between the girls, revealing long-ignored cracks in their friendships.

In The New Girl, Emily Perkins employs her sharp wit and incisive eye to demonstrate the profoundly destructive effects of resentment, mistrust and lies.©2024 Ken Bruen (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Literatur & Belletristik

Kritikerstimmen

Perkins has a wonderfully light touch; she is a master of dialogue and plain speech, a casual Carver for our times
Perkins’s restrained, uninflected prose is ideally suited to this quietly powerful tale of growing up… the strength of the characters still there, marooned by their own fears and haunted memories, ensures that their possible fates remain in our imagination long after the last page is turned
A rites-of-passage tale from a pen as sharp and precise as a scalpel
Crackles with the hormonal electricity of youth, Perkins has captured exactly the aching expectation of young women on the brink of adulthood
